Employee's foot fractured in trench cave-in

Employee #1 was using a shovel to look for pile caps in a trench measuring 6 ft deep, 3 ft wide at the bottom, and 13 ft wide at the top. Suddenly, a wall of the excavation, along with excavated soil, fell into the excavation, covering the employee to his hip level, knocking him down, and fracturing his foot.
